Standard supervised training for deepfake detection treats all samples with uniform importance, which can be suboptimal for learning robust and generalizable features. In this work, we propose a novel Tutor-Student Reinforcement Learning (TSRL) framework to dynamically optimize the training curriculum. Our method models the training process as a Markov Decision Process where a ``Tutor'' agent learns to guide a ``Student'' (the deepfake detector). The Tutor, implemented as a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent, observes a rich state representation for each training sample, encapsulating not only its visual features but also its historical learning dynamics, such as EMA loss and forgetting counts. Based on this state, the Tutor takes an action by assigning a continuous weight (0-1) to the sample's loss, thereby dynamically re-weighting the training batch. The Tutor is rewarded based on the Student's immediate performance change, specifically rewarding transitions from incorrect to correct predictions. This strategy encourages the Tutor to learn a curriculum that prioritizes high-value samples, such as hard-but-learnable examples, leading to a more efficient and effective training process. We demonstrate that this adaptive curriculum improves the Student's generalization capabilities against unseen manipulation techniques compared to traditional training methods.

The rapid advancement of face generation techniques has led to a growing variety of forgery methods. Incremental forgery detection aims to gradually update existing models with new forgery data, yet current sample replay-based methods are limited by low diversity and privacy concerns. Generative replay offers a potential solution by synthesizing past data, but its feasibility for forgery detection remains unclear. In this work, we systematically investigate generative replay and identify two scenarios: when the replay generator closely resembles the new forgery model, generated real samples blur the domain boundary, creating domain-risky samples; when the replay generator differs significantly, generated samples can be safely supervised, forming domain-safe samples. To exploit generative replay effectively, we propose a novel Domain-Aware Relative Weighting (DARW) strategy. DARW directly supervises domain-safe samples while applying a Relative Separation Loss to balance supervision and potential confusion for domain-risky samples. A Domain Confusion Score dynamically adjusts this tradeoff according to sample reliability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DARW consistently improves incremental learning performance for forgery detection under different generative replay settings and alleviates the adverse impact of domain overlap.
